The first four-fifths of The Outrage were not bad, but the ending was disappointing, especially compared with Rashomon. And Claire Bloom, though a fine actress, can't approach the amazing performance delivered by Machiko Kyo. Also, the medium used in Rashomon (which is after all set in the 13th century) is far more effective.
Not bad overall, but pales in comparison with the original Rashomon.
